“Roald Dahl sometimes shared a tonal kinship with Ogden Nash, and he could demonstrate a verbal inventiveness nearly Seussian…[His] stories work better in audio than in print.” – The New York Times Roald Dahl’s wickedly funny novels have turned him into the world’s number 1 storyteller. In this collection five splendiferous stories are brought to life by the author himself. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (Abridged) Willy Wonka’s famous chocolate factory is opening at last! James and the Giant Peach (Abridged) A little magic can take you a long way Fantastic Mr. Fox (Unabridged) Nobody outfoxes Fantastic Mr. Fox! The Enormous Crocodile (Unabridged) This greedy crocodile loves to guzzle up little boys and girls The Magic Finger (Unabridged) Horrible neighbors learn their lesson from a little girl with powerful magic! Review: We loved it! - It made a 5 hour car journey pass by in the blink of an eye. My kids can't watch DVD's, read books or play on iPods during these journeys as it makes them sick, so this was a Godsend. Read by Roald Dahl himself, it kept a 43 year-old, a 40 year-old, a 7 year-old and a 6 year-old happy and smiling for hours. We don't make this journey that often, so it will all be fresh again next time! Review: Awesome! So hard to find anything read by the ... - Awesome! So hard to find anything read by the author, particularly Fantastic Mr Fox. The other tales were a real bonus...

A very good collection
Great yarns for children and adults alike and certainly worth the value. My grand daughter was bewitched and upset when the car journey came to an endf.

Took over three weeks to arrive. CD one only plays half way through Charlie and the Chocolate factory and then starts again. Whilst stories are read by the author, lack the music and drama of some of the other audio versions available. Overall disappointing.

Magníficos.
Recomiendo los CD ya que los cuentos son fabulosos, con el extra que están magníficamente leidos por el escritor, merece la pena tenerlos.
